Interesting new developments in this book, but somehow, I couldn't help but feel as if Sookie's fairy connections were wasted. They didn't really matter until this book, and at the end of this book, I don't see how they will matter again. I am getting intersted in her love life again, although part of that subplot has me feeling rather dead inside. Maybe I'm too used to the traditional HEA romance, but I hate watching Bill pining in the background while Sookie moves on. Plus, I don't have any fa

It's been a year (or almost) since I've read a Sookie book and I think the time apart was good for us. After some time away I found myself really enjoying this, the 9th installment of the Southern Vampire series. For those of you who have only watched HBO's True Blood, book Sookie is much more likable than show Sookie and I think I had forgotten that.

I cannot get enough of this freaking series! Loved the fact that there was another juicy Eric moment :P I also liked the ending, thought it left it open nicely for the reader to choose which vamp he meant. (I'm thinking Bill, but I'll choose Eric thanks) I did feel a bit of sympathy for Bill in this one, seemed hard to hate him here. The fae storyline was interesting, I liked it more in this book than in some others I've read. Is there more to this series? I got the feeling this was it. :(

3.5 stars.
It's about time this series went somewhere!! The last few books seemed like Harris didn't really have a clue where she was headed with her ideas and characters...but this book actually started to tie stuff together.
For me, these books are brain sugar, so I try to evaluate them based solely on their entertainment value, and not necessarily on their literary merit. I am pleased with the presence of Eric--and to some degree Bill as well. Perhaps there is some redemption for him yet. And ...more

The series is back to three stars. I like them, and I'll keep getting them from the library, but my suspicion is that Sookie Stackhouse jumped the shark somewhere around #5.

Fun, fluffy, "brain candy" read

I devoured this book in one sitting. It was delicious and a very nice break from reality.
